Figure 7b from Thorne and others (2013). This is the conceptual model from their study, showing two mantle piles moving towards each other and combining, eventually creating a new hotspot plume. Present day is marked in Time 2, when the two piles are just beginning to interact. Time 3 represents when a new plume would be initiated.

Witness location : Pa&#231;o de Sousa (Portugal) (5 km SE from epicenter)I was inside my house and felt it for 2/3s, no objects fell but the windows shook violently. At first i thought it was just a big truck passing by.... (total 92) [link to www.emsc-csem.org]

All north country felt it very strongly, a friend phone me and asking me if i knew anything about it.

Wai Sano contains a large caldera lake whose surface is 260 m below the 903 m high point on the southern caldera rim...

This is not Hekla but it is Torfajokull. It is actually just at the edge of the caldera of Torfajokull and this is one volcano it erupted 6 times at same time as Veidivotn. But the entire region between both volcanoes is a short distance and sight of many small independent eruptions, not belonging clearly to either.

However sometimes earthquakes at this region appear a few days before a proper eruption of Hekla. I think this happened before one of the last eruptions but cannot record which one, and which source I have read this in.

But yes, there are subtle signs pointing to increased restless over the entire region in south Iceland, between Katla, Torfajokull and Hekla, 3 volcanoes which are actually quite near to each one. My bet remains: an eruption of Hekla within the next months, maybe even this month! Hekla erupts most often in late winter and spring time, but it could be just a statistical coincidence.

- Great post Greg, very neat to have for those who can not saty and watch, but like watch on regular bases. - Yes, Hekla is (my opinion) in final stages. I did post a comment (from expert source) in last thread on this. One should take such tips with caution but do not rule it out. And today there was quake in Veiðivötn area (Northern-most Dead Zone). But Iceland is rather quiet at the moment, so needs a day or two to “heat up”. Consider this the calme before the Storm. *sell airliner stock and invest in mask factory*

Ah, forgot. Hekla / Burfell strain dip was mainly due air-pressure drop, a small slip was there also, but we saw ten-times as much “slip” (Slip down) last year and nothing came out. Any “slip” worth 100,000 raw-units x 2 or x 3 is highly worthy of note – not 5,000 (as day before yesterday).

Today again active [link to www.ct.ingv.it] but again without rise of tremor [link to www.ct.ingv.it] That is starnge, what it means? Absolutely no obstructions for gas output or gas output reached a stable high pressure (as in whistling kettle when it boils)?

Methane gas locked inside Siberia's frozen soil and under its lakes is currently being released at a dangerous rate. Scientists believe it can pose threat to the world's climate. However the lack of data over a long period of time casts uncertainty over the extent of the threat. More than 50 billion tons of methane could be unleashed from Siberian lakes alone [link to www.youtube.com]

add [link to arcticclimateemergency.com] ...The Russian research estimates that methane venting to the atmosphere from the ESAS "is on par with previous estimates of methane venting from the entire World Ocean." There is potentially an enormous amount of methane below the ESAS. "Remobilization to the atmosphere of only a small fraction of the methane held in East Siberian Arctic Shelf (ESAS) sediments could trigger abrupt climate warming." ...In conclusion, the amount of carbon on the ESAS is estimated to be double all the carbon in the atmosphere. If global warming is allowed to progress or if other Arctic methane carbon feedback sources (wetlands and land permafrost) are not stabilized, methane hydrates will emit methane in catastrophic amounts and no one knows when that could happen.

[link to uk.groups.yahoo.com] ...I've tried to do some correlation between the three areas and geomorphology by putting maps side by side: [1] and [2]. It's very strange. I can't see any obvious seabed geomorphic features. The three areas of the hotspots seem to include bits of shelf, shelf margin and basin. So the three areas may just where sub-seabed methane happens to be: perhaps as methane hydrate, perhaps as methane gas under thawing permafrost, or perhaps as a mixture of the two...

February 14, 2013 – INDONESIA - A report published by the Indonesian Volcanological Survey (VSI) indicates that the intense eruptive phase on 3 Feb caused the collapse of about 1/4 of the volume of the dome, a little more than one million cubic meters. VSI points out that the main hazard zones for pyroclastic flows, if the dome continues to grow, include now also the valleys to the west and south-east, in addition to the open valley to the south (that already was invaded by pyroclastic flows, visible on the recent NASA space image). The situation on the island remains critical. Many villages are now directly in this danger area (Nitunglea, Rokirole, Tuanggeo, Ona, Wolondopo). Significant ash fall may also occur, with the usual consequences (pollution of drinking water supplies, eye, epidermal, respiratory problems etc.) –Volcano Discovery [link to theextinctionprotocol.wordpress.com]

Here is the earthquake animation for January and up to February 13 th 2013. The red dots are the EQs of the day, the former EQs appear with size proportional to magnitude and color changing with age (red is youngest, blue oldest). Plot max depth has been set to 30 km so a few events may be missing. EQ data from IMO, elevation from NOAA, made on Octave, avconv to make the video. [link to www.youtube.com]
